KOMAN GAME PLAN/BLUEPRINT 919• The University of North Carolina football program has launched the Bill Koman Game Plan for Success and its branding initiative, Blueprint 919, to provide football student-athletes the skill set to thrive on and off the field, while providing resources to understand and effectively navigate potential name, image and likeness opportunities that may arise in the future. • The Koman Game Plan for Success, which was created thanks to a generous gift from Jim and Jennifer Koman in honor of Jim’s father Bill, follows the motto of the football program; attending Carolina is not a four-year decision, it’s a 40-year decision. It provides training and support for football student-athletes throughout their time at Carolina and into their post-graduate lives. Programming centers on preparing student-athletes for their college career and beyond through academic assessment, study and learning skills preparation, leadership development, community involvement and career opportunities.• To complement the personal development initiatives in the Koman Game Plan for Success, the football program has developed a unique branding initiative, Blueprint 919, which will combine both internal and external experts to develop and foster each individual’s personal brand. The branding program contained in Blueprint 919 seeks to help football student-athletes determine who they are, define their key traits, develop their image, recognize their target audiences, and maximize their external presence.• To learn more about these programs, visit goheels.com/KGPS-Blueprint919.

That includes a record 778 yards at Miami in 2020.• Sam Howell has 875 yards alone of offense the last two weeks, 659 through the air and 216 on the ground. He has tossed 8 TDs in 2 games.• Howell is the third UNC QB to ever have back-to-back 400-yard total offense games, joining Marquise WIlliams (Notre Dame and Georgia Tech in 2014) and Mitch Trubisky (James Madison and Pitt in 2016).

EXCLUSIVE COMPANY • Sam Howell joined a group of only four FBS quarterbacks to ever have back-to-back games with 300 passing yards and 100 rushing yards.2007 - Chase Clement, Rice2017 - Quinton Flowers, USF2017 - Lamar Jackson, Louisville2021 - Sam Howell, UNC• Howell became just the second UNC QB to ever compile 300+ passing yards and 100+ rushing yards in a game against Georgia State. The other was Marquise Williams against Notre Dame in 2014. • Howell also joined Williams as the only QBs to pass for three and rush for two scores in a game (Williams vs. Baylor in 2015 Russell Athletic Bowl).• Howell accumulated 456 total yards (sixth most at UNC) against Georgia State with 352 passing and a career-high 104 rushing yards. • In the postgame Howell added, "He's my favorite Tar Heel ever," when talking about Williams, Carolina all-time total offense leader who played from 2012-15.• Howell added 412 total yards against Virginia, a career-high 112 yards on the ground and 307 passing yards.

Other QBs who did it once include Danny Talbott in 1965, Ricky Lanier 1969, Chuck Sharpe 1979, Jason Stanicek 1992, Ronald Curry 2000 and Darian Durant 2003.(Note: Charlie Justice did it in consecutive

games three times, once each in 1946, 1947 and 1948, and 12 times total; Hosea Rodgers 3 times in 1947-48; and Billy Hayes twice in 1949; but none was classified as a quarterback, no one was in those days, although they did much of the team's passing.)

STARTING A NEW STREAK• UNC snapped a four-game losing streak against Virginia with a resounding 59-39 win last Saturday night in Chapel Hill in the 126th playing of the South's Oldest Rivalry.• The two teams combined for 98 points, the most in the series. The previous high was 85 last year in Virginia's 44-41 win at home.• The Tar Heels’ 59 points were the most against Virginia in an ACC game, the most since 1936 (59 in Charlottesville) and the most at home since 1935 (61).• Carolina gained 699 total yards, its most ever against Virginia and the sixth most in any game in school history. It was the third most by the Tar Heels in a game coached by Mack Brown.• Carolina had 35 first downs against Virginia. The only time the Tar Heels had more in a game was 36 vs. Pitt in 1974.

He leads the ACC (2nd nationally) with 399 receiving yards and is sec-ond with four receiving touchdowns.• In his first collegiate start at Virginia Tech, Downs caught eight of 11 targets for 123 yards and one dazzling touchdown, a 37-yard screen pass in the third quarter.• He caught eight balls for 73 yards against Georgia State and scored a touchdown. • He recorded a career-high 203 receiving yards against Virginia, the eighth most in program history, and had two receiving touchdowns from 59 and 37 yards in the first quarter.• First UNC receiver since 2011 to catch a TD in each of the first three games of a season.• His 250 Yards after catch and 17 first downs rank second nationally.

UNC SCHEDULE NOTES • The Tar Heels will open the season with

a road conference game for the first time since 2005 at Georgia Tech.

• Virginia Tech: Carolina opens a season against the Hokies for the first time since 1946, a game played in Chapel Hill that ended in a 14-14 tie.

• Georgia State: First ever meeting between the two schools in football. The Tar Heels are scheduled to visit the Panthers in 2022.

• Georgia Tech: The two Coastal Division rivals did not play in 2020 after the schedule was revamped due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The two squads met every season between 1980-2019. This game will be played at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

• Florida State: The Seminoles make their first visit to Chapel Hill since 2009. The three most recent meetings in 2010, 2016 and 2020 all were played in Tallahassee, Florida.

• Notre Dame: The Tar Heels and Fighting Irish are in the midst of playing head-to-head over the span of three-successive seasons. UNC hosted Notre Dame in 2020 and will do that again in 2022.

• Wake Forest: The 2021 matchup is the culmination of a home-and-home non-conference series between the two in-state ACC rivals. Carolina played in Winston-Salem in 2019. This season will also mark the first time the two have played in three-straight seasons since 2002-04.

• Pitt: Similar to Georgia Tech, the Coastal Division foes did not play last season, the first time since the Panthers joined the ACC for the 2013 campaign. This season marks the fourth-straight meeting in Pittsburgh that will be play on Thursday night.

• Wofford: First ever meeting between the two schools in football.

• NC State: The Carolina-State game returns to the final weekend of the regular season, a place it held in the schedule between 2014-2019. Since the return of Mack Brown to Chapel Hill, the Tar Heels have won both games over the Wolfpack by a combined score of 89-31.

Page 8: 2021 TAR HEEL FOOTBALL GAME NOTES

GROUND GAME• Tennessee transfer Ty Chandler rushed for a career-high 198 yards and Carolina racked up 392 yards on the ground against Virginia. • Chandler's previous career high was 158 rushing yards at UT against UTEP in 2018. • He busted out a 60-yard run against the Cavaliers and scored a pair of rushing TDs.• True freshman Caleb Hood added 66 yards on nine carries and scored his first collegiate TD on a five-yard run in the third quarter. • UNC entered the Virginia game with only 347 rushing yards over the first two weeks of the season.

TAKEAWAY ARTISTS• Carolina already has five takeaways on defense through three games in 2021. • The Tar Heels are almost halfway to the 11 turnovers they created in 2020. • Ja'Qurious Conley has a pair of interceptions and a fumble recovery. Power Echols has a pick and Desmond Evans has scooped up one fumble.

CAUSING A RUCKUS• Sophomore linebacker Kaimon Rucker has started the last two games and responded with the best game of his collegiate career last week against Virginia with two sacks, a forced fumble and five total tackles.

It was Criswell’s first touchdown pass and Nesbit’s first touchdown catch.• True freshman Power Echols had his first career interception early in the fourth quarter and returned it 17 yards.• British Brooks notched his first career blocked punt and the first blocked punt by UNC since Bug Howard vs. Virginia Tech in 2015.

FOX PASSES LT ON CAREER SACKS LIST• Tomon Fox was credited with a half sack against Virginia Tech that moved him past Lawrence Taylor for sole possession of fifth place in program history. He has 22.5 career sacks. Fox also ranks seventh with 34.5 career tackles for loss.

DEFENSE DOMINATES 2ND HALF AT VT• Carolina's defense surrendered three points in the second half against Virginia Tech, a key reason why the Tar Heels were still threatening to send the game into overtime in the final minutes of the fourth quarter.• An interception from Ja'Qurious Conley and several three-and-outs forced were vital for UNC in staying the game after falling behind 14-0 at the half.• “Ja’Qurious Conley is gonna be a really, really good football player,” Mack Brown said. “He's tough, he's big, he can run, he’ll hit you and

he's a tremendous athlete so he can strip a ball, he can intercept balls and he's really competitive."• Conley also picked up a fumble in the first quarter that ended a Hokie drive at the UNC 9-yard line. Trey Morrison forced the fumble when he jarred the ball loose from Virginia Tech's Keshawn King.

NEW-LOOK BACKFIELD• Grad transfer Ty Chandler and sophomore D.J. Jones were the featured backs for Carolina in the season opener at Virginia Tech. Chandler rushed for 66 yards on 10 carries, while Jones gained 43 yards on six attempts. • They combined for 109 yards and averaged 6.8 yards per carry on 16 attempts. Jones had the longest rush of the night, 29 yards, while Chandler had a 23-yard rush of his own.

ESPN'S TOP-100 COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYERS• Sam Howell (No. 5) and Tony Grimes (No. 80) are listed among ESPN's list of the top-100 college football players in 2021.• Only Oklahoma's Spencer Rattler (No. 1) was a higher-rated quarterback on the list. • Grimes is among 20 sophomores listed.

DOWNS READY TO BREAKOUT IN 2021• Sophomore wide receiver Josh Downs was selected in the preseason as a top-10 potential breakout player in 2021 according to ESPN staff writer David Hale.• Stat comparison: In his only significant action last season, Downs caught four passes for 91 yards and two touchdowns in UNC's bowl game against Texas A&M. That stat line looked nearly identical to that of Florida's Kadarius Toney (7 catches, 92 yards, 2 TDs) against the Aggies. Toney went on to become a first-round draft pick.• Why he's poised for a breakout: North Carolina waved goodbye to its two most established receivers in Dyami Brown and Dazz Newsome, but there's little concern about the Tar Heels' passing game. With QB Sam Howell still at the helm, the yards are going to come, and there seems little doubt that Downs, a speedy slot receiver, will get his fair share of them. His coming-out party in the Orange Bowl -- a game Brown missed because of an opt-out -- was just the first taste. UNC's defensive backs have raved about the competition in 7-on-7s, lauding Downs as a potential All-ACC star for 2021.

DOWNS SNAGS PRESEASON HERBIE AWARD• ESPN analyst Kirk Herbstreit pegged sophomore receiver Josh Downs as his 'Breakout Star' for the upcoming 2021 season. • After playing behind slot receiver Dazz Newsome, now with the Chicago Bears, most of last season, Downs showed out in the Orange Bowl last season with a pair of touchdowns, including a 75-yard grab to the house.

SCORING SPREE IN 2020• UNC was second in the ACC to Clemson in scoring offense with 41.7 points per game. That figure was ninth in the nation.• Carolina ranked fifth nationally and led the ACC with 537.3 yards per game of total offense.• UNC shattered the previous school record of 486.9 yards per game set in 2015.• UNC twice set a school record for total offensive yards in a game last season. The first occurrence was the 742 yards against Wake Forest, breaking the previous record of 721 vs. ODU in 2013.• Carolina then put up 778 yards of offense at No. 9 Miami in the regular-season finale. • UNC gained 500 or more yards in eight of the final 10 games of the 2020 campaign. The Tar Heels registered six-straight 500+ yard outings, the first time it's happened in at least 50 years, dating back to existing records that begin in 1971.• Carolina has more than 400 yards of total offense in 18 of its last 20 games. • UNC scored 40 or more points in seven games last season and 10 of the last 16 games going back to the end of the 2019 campaign. • The 2020 season was the first in Carolina history that saw the Tar Heels score 50 or more points against four ACC opponents.

AERIAL ATTACK IN 2020• Sam Howell led the ACC with 30 passing touchdowns (sixth nationally) and a 179.09 passing efficiency. He ranked second in the league with 298.8 passing yards per game and 311.0 yards of total offense per game.• 17 of his 30 passing TDs went for 20 yards or longer, and eight went for 40+ yards.• Howell led the nation with four passes of 70 or more yards.

NFLPA COLLEGIATE BIG BOARD• The NFLPA Collegiate Bowl unveiled its 2021-22 preseason Big Board on Aug. 27. The Tar Heels had five players listed. - Grayson Atkins, PK- Ty Chandler, RB- Tomon Fox, LB- Marcus McKethan, OL- Jordan Tucker, OL

ASANTE DRAWS INSPIRATION FROM BROTHER• Junior LB Eugene Asante enjoyed a breakout performance in the Orange Bowl last season with a game- and career-high 10 tackles.• Asante draws inspiration from his older brother, Larry Asante, who played at Nebraska and then spent six years in the NFL, before seeing his career end in 2015 when he was cut by the Oakland Raiders.• "His career didn't end the way me and my family dreamed of ... I need to go 110 percent because in the real world your dreams can get cut at any time."

KIERNAN’S DUBLIN BEGINNINGS• Sophomore punter Ben Kiernan played his high school football at Raleigh’s Wakefield High School, but he didn’t arrive in the U.S. until he was 15. Kiernan spent the first decade and a half of his life in Dublin, Ireland, where he played rugby and soccer. Seeking more opportunities and better colleges, Kiernan’s parents decided to move to the Raleigh area. After moving just two weeks prior to the start of the 8th grade, Kiernan’s father Mike had a chance encounter with the football coach at Food Lion and he told him to have Ben try out for football, where he would punt a football for the first time. • Kiernan’s twin older brothers, Tom and Jack, played rugby at NC State.• Kiernan’s 13-year-old sister Freya is in a lifetime battle with cerebral palsy. The Kiernan’s adopted Freya, who was born in China, when she was nine months old.

Mack Brown, whose charismatic style and disciplined approach propelled the University of North Carolina to the top five and the University of Texas to the 2005 BCS National Championship, began his second stint as head coach in Chapel Hill on Nov. 27, 2018 with the goal of leading another Carolina resurgence. A 43-year veteran of collegiate coaching, Brown has served as a head coach for 32 seasons with stops at Texas (1998-2013), North Carolina (1988-97, 2019-20), Tulane (1985-87), and Appalachian State (1983). Over his 32 seasons, Brown has posted a record of 259-132-1 (.662). Those 259 career victories rank seventh on the FBS all-time list and are the most among active coaches. The 2005 Paul W. “Bear” Bryant National Coach of the Year and the 2008 Bobby Dodd National Coach of the Year, Brown is one of a handful of coaches in college football history to lead two separate programs to top-five national finishes.Brown continued a remarkable turnaround in year two of his return to Carolina, leading the Tar Heels from two wins in 2018 to the Orange Bowl in 2020. Carolina, which went 8-4, spent much of the season ranked in the Top 25, finishing the regular season at No. 13 in the College Football Playoff rankings and ending the year ranked 18th in the AP Poll and 17th in the Coaches Poll. This marked just the second time since Brown’s de-parture in 1997 that Carolina finished a season in the Top 25. Under his guidance, Carolina produced four All-Americans, 13 All-ACC selections, a Top-15 recruiting class and averaged a 3.0 GPA over the spring and fall semesters.

In his first season back at the helm at North Carolina in 2019, Brown led the Tar Heels to a winning season and a resounding victory in the Mili-tary Bowl. The seven wins were two more than UNC had won in its previ-ous two seasons combined (5) and the Heels won a bowl game for the first time since 2013. Carolina played close games seemingly all season. Its nine games decided by seven points or less were the most since 1936 and the Tar Heels’ six losses came by a total of just 26 points. Brown’s ‘19 UNC squad produced two NFL Draft picks, five NFL free-agent signees, 11 All-ACC honors and freshman QB Sam Howell was named ACC Offen-sive Rookie and Rookie of the Year before earning Freshman All-America honors.

Prior to returning to Carolina, Brown served as both a college football studio analyst and color analyst for ESPN. At the completion of his Texas tenure in 2013, Brown was one of just four active coaches to reach the 200-victory plateau. He was also one of only two coaches nationally to lead his teams to 21 bowls in 22 seasons, and the only one to have 23 winning seasons in the previous 24 years. His 225 wins from 1990 to 2013, which combined the last eight years of his first stint at UNC and his entire Texas tenure, were the most of any coach in the country. As a result, Brown was inducted into the National Football Foundation College Football Hall of Fame in December of 2018. He is the sixth Tar Heel to be inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame and the second coach, joining innovator Carl Grey Snavely, who was inducted in 1965. In addition to the College Football Hall of Fame, Brown is also a member of the Texas Sports Hall of Fame, the Longhorn Hall of Honor, the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame, the Rose Bowl Hall of Fame and the Holiday Bowl Hall of Fame. Brown has also succeeded in preparing his student-athletes for the next level. In the 31 NFL Drafts during Brown's time as a head coach, the NFL has picked 110 of his student-athletes, and at least one was selected in 28 straight drafts. He had 20 players selected in the first round of the draft from 1998 to 2013, and three members of his 1997 Carolina squad were picked in the first round of the 1998 NFL Draft, which tied for the most of any collegiate program. With all of the success on the field, the primary emphasis has re-mained the same with Brown's squads -- maintaining a high level of achievement in the classroom and in the community. Eighty percent of his players at North Carolina received their degrees and he increased the pace at Texas, while more than a third of his players at UT regularly

earned 3.0 grade point averages and achieved spots on the Big 12 Com-missioner's and Athletics Director's Honor Rolls. Brown’s first stint as head coach of the Tar Heels came from 1988-97. He led Carolina to a record of 69-46-1 (.599), which included three 10-win seasons, six consecutive bowl games, a Top-Five finish, a Top-10 finish and two Top-20 finishes. At UNC, Brown recruited and coached several of the finest players in school history. From his 1997 squad alone, DE Greg Ellis (No. 8, Dallas Cowboys), LB Brian Simmons (No. 17, Cincinnati Bengals) and DT Vonnie Holliday (No. 19, Green Bay Packers) were selected among the first 19 picks in the 1998 NFL Draft. Along with that trio of first-rounders, Brown also helped develop sev-eral other Tar Heel standouts. CB Dré Bly, who is currently Carolina’s DBs coach, was a three-time All-American who recorded an ACC-record 20 interceptions during his career and played 11 seasons in the NFL. Corey Holliday, who currently serves as UNC’s Associate A.D. for Football Ad-ministration, finished his career as the leading receiver in Carolina his-tory, was a CFA/Hitachi Scholar-Athlete, and is a former member of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Dwight Hollier, who currently serves as UNC’s Senior Associate A.D. for Student-Athlete Health, Well-Being & Program Out-reach, made more than 500 tackles during his Carolina career and also

played in the NFL. RB Natrone Means, who rushed for more than 1,000 yards in his final two seasons at UNC, went on to lead the San Diego Char-gers to Super Bowl XXIX and the Jacksonville Jaguars to the 1996 AFC title game. QBs Jason Stanicek and Mike Thomas combined to rewrite Carolina's passing and total offense records. DT Marcus Jones, a consensus first-team All-American, earned ACC Defensive Player of the Year honors in 1995. CB Thomas Smith came to UNC in 1989 as a walk-on from a small high school in North Carolina and departed as a first-round pick of the AFC Champion Buffalo Bills. RB Leon Johnson, one of the premier all-pur-pose offensive threats in ACC history, played eight seasons in the NFL. TE Freddie Jones, a second-round draft choice of the San Diego Chargers in 1997, was one of the NFL's top pass-catching tight ends and played eight seasons in the NFL. During his first 10 seasons at Carolina, the Tar Heels featured a Lom-bardi Award finalist, a two-time Thorpe Award finalist, a Butkus Award fi-nalist and semifinalist, 16 All-Americans, 34 first-team All-ACC selections, an ACC Defensive Player of the Year and an ACC Rookie of the Year. Brown also helped his players with professional aspirations as 38 of his Tar Heels heard their names called in the NFL Draft, including 16 in the first three rounds. In addition to the three first-rounders in 1998, Marcus Jones (Tampa Bay Buccaneers ‘96) and Thomas Smith (Buffalo Bills ’93) were first-round selections; Freddie Jones (San Diego Chargers ’97), Rick Terry (New York Jets ’97, Bucky Brooks (Buffalo Bills ’94) and Natrone Means (San Diego Chargers ’93) were second-round picks; and James Hamilton (Jacksonville Jaguars ’97), William Henderson (Green Bay Packers ’95), Jimmy Hitchcock (New England Patriots ’95), Rondell Jones (Denver Bron-cos ’93), Brian Bollinger (San Francisco 49ers ’92), Kevin Donnalley (Hous-ton Texans ’91) and Darrell Hamilton (Denver Broncos ’89) were chosen in the third round.
